About Us

North-West Highway Authorities & Utilities Committee (NWHAUC) was founded in 1993 to; serve the needs of organisations planning and co-ordinating works in the highway; interpret and facilitate over the legislation associated with such works (principally the New Road & Street Works Act 1991) ; and promote best practice, innovative solutions and improved communications between utilities and highway authorities.

NWHAUC comprises membership from 23 north-west based highway authorities and 11 utilities, and meets quarterly at a central location in Lancashire.

NWHAUC has links to HAUC UK, the national committee for all highway authority and utility liaison, which in turn has direct links with government departments for all matters related to works in the highway.
